Oliver's Bistro

Great spot for brunch/lunch. I had the beef tacos and they were better than any other Mexican place I tried. 4.5/5 The steak and eggs were delcious 4/5 The egg and gas was ok. 3/5. Service was exceptional, would highly recommend this place.

Our Christmas dinner was excellent. We each had a salad, I loved mine (with fried goat cheese, apple, beets, walnuts, arugula, and craisins). His was a Caesar salad and he enjoyed it. We shared the Pesto Pasta and cleaned the plate. The bread was SO good. Two thumbs up from us!

We popped in for lunch recently, and it was a pleasant experience—decent food in a relaxed setting, nothing spectacular but perfectly fine for a midday meal. The place has that chill, neighborhood vibe with outdoor seating under the signature orange umbrellas, which is nice for people-watching without the South Beach chaos. We sat outside and enjoyed the breeze. I ordered the grilled salmon—it was cooked nicely, flaky and fresh, with good seasoning and a side that complemented it well. My wife went for the mushroom truffle flatbread, and it was tasty too—the mushrooms were earthy, the truffle flavor came through without overpowering, and the crust was crisp enough. Portions were solid for lunch. I paired mine with a White Negroni, which was refreshing and hit the spot on a sunny day (their cocktail list has some nice options). Service was friendly and quick enough, though the place was moderately busy. Overall, it's a reliable spot for casual lunch—good quality. I'd return if we're in the area. Solid 4/5.

Consistently exceeding expectations. Always a highlight of our Miami visits. Wonderful atmosphere, amazing staff (shoutout to Masiel), exceptional food. The Country Chicken and the Branzino are our latest favorites but it’s hard to pick.

I ordered the Papardelle Bolognese and my fiancé had one of the Mussels entrees. He enjoyed his dinner and rated it 5 stars. My Bolognese was a bit bland but tasty overall. The service was good. The only thing I didn't enjoy was being seated at the entrance to the kitchen. The staff steps off the floor and relaxes in front of the window into the kitchen, but it takes away from the dining experience, it certainly doesn't elevate the experience. Dessert was the chocolate fondant and it was delicious. The prices were very reasonable for Miami Beach and we will definitely be returning. I look forward to trying the chicken Cordon Bleu and the rack of lamb. We were there on the earlier side on a Friday night in mid September and the dining room was only about 25% full.

I got the experience to come for lunch and the experience was good , but this time I don’t understand why is so hard to put a little more effort in make a good experience , super disappointed , and the one who make this was our server , he never introduce him self ,or explain a little bit about the restaurante or even the menu , there was not SPRITE IN THE HOUSE , Friday is SOBE , festival ? Well that is already a bad sign that the experience is going to super complicated , the food was good , big portions , but the service was terrible , he never come to check on us , juts once to tell if “all good? “Not even offering more drinks, and I never saw the dessert menu , the restaurant by time that we arrive was empty , juts 4 tables , not busy at all , obviously by the time that we finish dinner we want to leave and we ask at list2 of the employees for the check and we have to wait to get it , I don’t think I can see My self back into the restaurant, specially when most of my friend are living in the South Gate , and this is like the only restaurant in front , and be treated like this is super disappointed I hope u can improve this problems , and make a better experience for someone else , and btw I was charge for the service , I couldn’t even denied this option , that was super unfair too

From the moment we walked into Oliver's Bistro, we found the service to be outstanding. The casual atmosphere made us feel welcomed, inviting, and comfortable. Loved the ambiance with the beautiful cozy indoor restaurant and outdoor patio. Staff went above and beyond to ensure that all my dietary restrictions were fully achieved. They were all very accommodating, attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. My dietary needs were handled extremely well with attention to detail. A large variety menu to choose from and delicious high quality food. An overall exceptional dining experience, and would highly recommend Oliver's Bistro to anyone with or without dietary issues.

So much to love about this place! From the delightful warm goat cheese salad to the artfully crafted pastas, each moment is a symphony of delight for all of the senses. The staff are very friendly and accommodating for modifications. My only complaint would be that the prices here are slightly high, but this restaurant is in south beach and is head and shoulders above some of the places on Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

A very pretty and well decorated brunch spot on south beach. It doesn't get simpler than that and it really doesn't need to do anything else service or ambiance wise. The wait staff is great. I really loved how they let us linger for a while after our brunch was eaten just to hang out and chat. The space is super nice and I really loved the outdoors especially during this time of year where the weather is flawless. The food is ok. Nothing incredible, nothing special, definitely a bit over priced for the quality. I had the shakshuka and you could tell the tomato sauce came right out of a can. But beyond that, it's a nice place to hang out. Just don't come explicit the best quality dining experience.

Came for a girls dinner. It was very busy on a Saturday night. I enjoyed the lychee martini. We started off with calamari. These were perfectly cooked and fresh. But definitely wasn't enough for 3 people. I had the Pappardelle bolognese. It was a good portion. And okay taste. Then we had dessert and it was really good too. I wish I remembered the name! Overall I liked the atmosphere and energy of this place. The menu was just okay.

Used to be a lot better years ago when prices were still reasonable and quality of the food above average. These days it has devolved into an overpriced tourist trap with a 20% forced tip plus waiters that barely pay any attention to you and routinely fuck up your order. Unfortunately, they are surrounded by huge residential buildings full of flamingo-type imbeciles that comprise most of their clientele so little reason for them to do anything differently as long as the suckers keep coming through the door.

We just had dinner there tonight. My branzino is dried, overcooked and small. My wife filet Mignon is overcooked and not tender. This used to be my favorite place. What happened? :(

The ambiance was clean, comfortable and really cute. Our server was super nice. My sister had a standard breakfast that was good. My bother liked the Bloody Mary mix and said his eggs Benedict was really good. I had a the corned beef hash and it was delicious! I would definitely order this again. The beet juice was also delicious! This was a good choice.

First of all the breakfast was brought to the table was wrong, the main course was not cooked and in the end they surprised us with a big bill. They charge you for everything. Another thing they made us pay was a credit card fee!! I will tell you in a friendly way that the money you pay is for the location and not the quality of the food.

As a 24 year resident of the area, Oliver's Bistro is one of my neighborhood standbys. Management and staff are super friendly. If you haven't had a conversation with Phil, you should. One of the most entertaining and amusing guys in the restaurant biz! Food is solid. I love the Beef Bourguignon and Chicken Marsala among many other dishes. Chicken Marsala comes with a a huge heap of awesome mashed potatoes. Very reasonable prices for the quality. Such a comfortable place and away from the hustle and bustle of the east side of the beach. Highly recommend!

The food and drinks here were wonderful. The outdoor patio is a really beautiful space to dine outside. I don't think you can wrong here. It is a lovely spot for an elevated meal experience.

Idk Something is just always 'off' at this place 3 stars is because it's a local neighborhood spot and they try Prices are steep-even for the beach Atmosphere is nice-could have a better happy hour Plenty of great spots to go this one just seems to be forgettable

We stumbled upon this charming brunch spot while traveling in Miami. The ambiance exudes tropical vibes, and the food was delicious! The staff member who assisted us was incredibly sweet. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and I'd rate my chicken parmigiana an 8/10. My friend ordered the ceviche tacos and rated it a 7/10. Although my friends and I each ordered our own entrees, we should have ordered family style since we didn't finish our meals. I also had an iced café con leche with oat milk (not pictured) We arrived around noon, and while our food took a while to come out, it was well worth the wait once we tasted it.

The French toast is amazing. I'm guessing the bananas were not in season because they were cold and hard and lacked any type is sweetness. The beet, apple, and lime juice was amazing as well. The start off is for the service. We were great until the check, took 20 minutes, I had to ask another server to find mine so I could pay.

The rare tuna salad is awesome The Indian style chicken... not so awesome Great Location, Indoor- outdoor seating

I've been going to Oliver's for a couple years now. It's always a pleasant visit. What draws me to this place is it's plethora of choices on the menu. You can order grilled and fried calamari, which you don't see often. The service is pretty consistent even though its always busy when I go. I've ordered the lobster ravioli, spaghetti and meatballs (good for two servings), the beef bourguignon and their mushroom risotto; all so packed with flavor! I'm usually in and out, right after a shift. It's a great place to grab a quick meal. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a nice ambiance; could be with friends, partner or family.

Ahh yes. I have eaten here with Doc, B, etc. This food is very good. I would advise getting big salads, including carrots on the side. There is something here for everyone. The restaurant is very inclusive. I appreciate this hospitality.

Portions are huge!! Their bread is amazing but try to leave room, you will leave full. Trendy interior that is a good brunch option.

Pretty solid brunch spot. Their food was great, especially their crab Benedict's!! Ambiance was good, and service was great!

Great food. Best pancakes. And omelets. Good servers. Cute and quaint great ambiance

The food at Oliver's is well prepared and delicious. Our waiter, Rocco, was attentive and his recommendations were top of the line. We prefer eating inside in the air conditioning, and even though our waiter had tables outside, he remained attentive to us all through our meal. When we left, the manager even walked us across the street!! When you go, try the shrimp scampi

Me and my family always come here for brunch! The food is phenomenal and the staff are nice! Food is a little pricey, but the portions are huge so it works out! Honestly, nothing bad to say; every time I always go here, it's great.

The food is excellent and great service, I enjoy it !I had the ribeye twice and both times was probably the best ribeye I've ever had,

I haven't ordered Oliver's in a minute but I was craving my fish order from there and decided to splurge. They've increased their prices so it's now $29 for the mahi mahi, mashed potatoes and veggie. I ordered it for delivery and called the restaurant to confirm my order. The staff that answered was very kind. The food was delivered rather quickly but was unfortunately disappointing. The fish was so dry and chewy. The mashed potatoes didn't have any flavor and were super dry and chalky and the zucchini and squash were totally undercooked and hard to eat. Usually the order comes with peas and this one did not. I hope it was a one-off bad day but after not having it for a while it was disappointing to experience.

Great little spot for a quick meal. I was in town for a cruise leaving out of Miami but my flight came in early so I had some time to kill. I first made a stop at Total wine then pulled up my GPS and saw Oliver's Bistro was the closest so decided to give it a try. It was a short walk away from the Total wine. I didn't see any parking areas close but wound assume you could use on of the nearby public parking garages. It was on a Tuesday when I went in and not crowded at all. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. Service was pretty quick. I only ordered the classic corned beef hash with a coffee so didn't expect it to take long. Pretty small breakfast menu with a lot of the standard options like bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Not much noise when I dined here. They staff were very friendly and even provided me a place to store my luggage I brought for my cruise.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Lobster Ravioli 10/10 Smoking area outside makes it uncomfortable for non smokers.

Oliver's is our Sunday brunch in Miami Beach since 2000, is just right across the street from our condo so needless to say we are always happy to be in the area. Like a fine wine it got better with time. Service is quick and the food it great. Ambiance is right to take it in slowly and just enjoy. We like the Dutch Apple pancakes which are decadent but oh soooo good. Calories don't count on Sundays. The rest of the menu is just as good as well. As is the coffee. Oliver's is still a great local spot.

Uhm a disappointing turnout. Food were not the freshest and prepared interestingly. Service and waiters were nice though! Got the popover with scrambled eggs: popovers were dry but the eggs were fine; Escargot: never had it deshelled like this and did not taste buttery. A little weird taste probably bc not super fresh.

I had the most perfect blackened Mahi Mahi sando on a toasted bun. Salad was dressed and delicious, everything tasted so fresh. The mimosa(s) were delicious, staff is fantastic. Easy location to get to with a menu to wow you. My SIL's friend met us here, it's her regular Sunday place and I can see why. Second choice would have been the corned beef hash and if I ever get back to Miami, I'm most certainly making a trip here.

Best brunch on south beach. Best service and management and I'm "picky" always treated like family. Five stars.

Food is decent for the most part (some dishes, not all) but DON'T order anything for delivery. Let me explain... If you order more than 2 or more of each item there's a 60% chance you'll only get 1! I have been ordering here for over a year, the food is good. However, getting what you actually order has become nearly impossible in the past few months. I was ordering 3 quantities of the same item (Mahi-Mahi Sandwich) via uber eats. One day I ordered 4 and received only 1. Mistakes happen, so no big deal, I called the restaurant to see what went wrong they obviously have no clue because who knows how one can see an order at $70 for 4 sandwiches and decide to prepare just 1 sandwich. They tell me to re-order via Uber eats (keep in mind now I have to pay 2 delivery fees to get the same order) and then had to explain the whole situation to Uber to get my refund for the missing items on the original order. Then about 2 weeks after the first incident I decided to try again and it happens again, I go through the process of trying to get a refund AGAIN. I decided to take a 2 month break from this place because I didn't want to deal with that nonsense again. Then I ordered again, guess what? It happened again, 2 more times to be exact. How on earth do you have such incompetent people working there that can't count up to 3?! Needless to say I am done with this place, I don't have the patience to deal with this level of incompetence Bottom line, is this place has a few dishes that you should try IF you're dining in, but trust me you don't want to place an order for delivery from this place unless you are only ordering 1 ite. My favorites from here are the mahi-mahi sandwich, the veggie sandwich and the smoked salmon flatbread.

Pretty busy for Sunday brunch. The plates are huge and you won't be disappointed! If you don't walk away full, then there is something wrong with you Service is quick and friendly. They will explain anything you're not sure of. The menu is not large, although plenty to choose from. We had the chicken and waffles... I've never had this dish where they basically cook the chicken in a "fish" batter. Boneless, crispy and hot... delicious though. Crispy waffle with greens on top ... didn't like that, that's just my preference since e my hubby ate it. We did order a latte, however it wasn't the best I've ever had. Luke warm, more foam than I prefer. Next door is Umbria with much better coffee, and the food waaay better than Umbria. So mix and match since you're so close to each other. There is indoor seating and outdoor and street parking is limited. Again, food delicious! Service, outstanding, coffee mediocre. All around great place to eat and converse with someone.

My #1 brunch location in South Florida and by far worth the 1 hr drive for us. This place has exceptional service and great variety choices for food. From chicken and waffles, to a hearty sandwich or eggs Benedict or vegan burger. Great place. Outdoor seating and dog friendly. Beware the Miami smokers outside lifestyle which is disappointing but get past that and this is a place you surely will favorite in yelp and return. Street parking only but again worth the wait. One of my favorite spots in Miami

Exceptional.! Within walking distance from our hotel is what really lured us to Oliver's. Highly recommend you stop in while you are here visiting, but if you call Miami home consider yourself - SO lucky! We enjoyed the breakfast burrito, the egg crab cake Benedict and the high light of the morning was the chicken and waffles. Because the chicken was Lightly breaded that melted in your mouth - definitely a first.. Then, their coffee was so delicious, that I actually ordered a second - café con leche - a first for me. Oliver......, open up a location in Lafayette, Louisiana. Come show off your skills because these Cajuns think they are the only ones who can get down in the kitchen. lol

Came with my buddy for brunch and it was just what I needed. We were seated immediately and quickly had waters, lattes, and mimosas. The place is well lit inside and has a nice miami vibe going on. I hadn't had Eggs Benedict in forever and my friend said it was his favorite so I couldn't resist. It was excellent and I loved the roasted tomatoes on the side. The home fries were pretty regular and could use improvement, but otherwise I had a great meal to start the party again in Miami.

Miami Beach - We recently had a very good dinner here. Varied menu. Delicious branzino with garlic green beans and onion rings as sides. Very good homemade bread but a charge if you ask for seconds. Seriously? Excellent and generous apple strudel. Nicely decorated inside and outside. Service was friendly, professional and efficient. We were fortunate to find convenient street parking.

Thursday, March 16th @ 10:30am Parking- street parking (I walked) Service was solid. The ambiance is amazing and inviting! I enjoyed my French toast. It was filling, savory, and a great portion size. (Did not photograph) My girlfriend loved her omelette. Be warned, they do not provide A la carte. She wanted a side of a single pancake but was told that she would have to buy the two pancakes and that they don't offer singles. I took away a star because of gnats. I understand live plants are great for the air we breathe but the fact that it attracts gnats is problematic while eating food. There prices on Yelp are not accurate to the menu prices at the restaurant so have that in mind while ordering. Great place to eat while in Miami.

Amazing everything the food the service is the best . The salmon with cucus is great with aoili sauce

5 star food, 5 star ambience, 3 star service. Terrific food in a beautiful space but with below-average service. Oliver's has become a go-to weekend breakfast/brunch spot for an unusual reason: we have a buddy who docks a very cool sailboat nearby, and we are an automatic yes if he wants to take that thing out on weekends! We treat him at Oliver's afterward in gratitude. The food here is among the best brunch food you'll find in Miami. Cold press beet juice and strong coffee kick start the day even better than the ocean spray can. Over many visits, my favorite has become their build your own omelet: roast pepper, 'shrooms, spinach and tomato are incredibly fresh, and they spice it just right. Ambience inside and out are both great. Inside it's a high-style bistro but with enough soft surfaces to never be noisy. Outside, big red umbrellas take care of the subtropical sun. West Avenue is one of the more laidback avenues in M Beach, so a nice mellow vibe outside too. The one problem is the service, which varies all over the map. It's a little bipolar: sometimes it's a 5, sometimes a 1...on a good day it's a terrific experience, on a bad one it can take a loooong time for simple things with a big dose of 'tude thrown into the wait. The average is roughly 3 stars over many visits.

3 stars for the pancake. Everything else we ordered was very blah and expensive. Got some poached eggs that had a wet mop smell from the dirty water they were sitting on. Sent them back and just ate the potatoes and avocado I had ordered on the side. Service was also not the best. First and last time. Will not return.

This is a regular local spot. I'm a little disappointed the prices have gone up but I guess that's just the way Miami and Miami Beach is lately. I thought it was a little expensive but it's a safe spot always to check out for lunch or brunch, the service is great and you can sit outside. It's a very pleasant experience nothing exciting just a good regular meal in Miami Beach.

I keep giving this place another chance-only bc I legit can see it from my balcony. I stopped for over 2 years bc I had to send a simple lox bagel order back twice-once for not being toasted at all and then bc it was burnt... I almost walked out but the manager managed to keep me there however the presentation was still pathetic (I wish I had taken a photo). Tonight I am here and ordered a shrimp appetizer and it looks like I am at a bad sports bar... I mean it's just absolutely absurd they put no effort into the presentation of their food and should be embarrassed. I get it - ppl are used to overpaying for food - but this was my last time here for a while unless someone else suggests it and is paying. Everything we ordered off the happy hour menu was so/so. Sliders were dry and bland... tacos we ehhhh without sauce .... Fries we got looked like they were from the end of the batch. I've had one great meal here one time out of the dozen I've been here... the vibe is cool... they have enough fans going this time of year but again- won't be back after this experience. Staff has been nice-not their fault the owner/chef is cheap and doesn't care about what the food looks like ...

This lovely gem is always a 10/10! I've tried several items off the menu and they always manage to make it spot on, deliciousness! - Fried calamari with what I think is a homemade marinara sauce + red pepper flakes (nom nom!) - Salmon with couscous, spinach and tomatoes - Branzino (crispy skin ) with broccolini, potatoe and a delicious cilantro sauce - Lobster ravioli, tasted so fresh! - cheesecake - just do it! Haha - Cesar salad.. make sound basic but they add a toasted bread and all the proteins are scrumptious! - last but not least the bread they give with a cream cheese or butter (can't make what it is) filled with scallion and onion Ah! Can't forget the drinks (lol) MUST try, gin a la provance. Fresh af! It was a refreshing twist on a lemonade. Bon apetit, hope this helps or makes you more indecisive haha :)

Been a regular at Olivers for 20+ years or so...great location away from tourists and nice patio, but today........1. the chicken in the asian chicken salad was chewy, dry and cold. 2. they charged $12.50 for a glass of orange juice. 3. $14 for a small bowl of strawberries. 4. the bread that was ordered at the time of ordering the meal didnt arrive until 10+ minutes after the salads arrived, when we were almost finished with our salads. 5. On the plus side, they serve great iced tea.

Philippe, the manager, is very attentive and over-accommodating. The food is always good and reasonably priced.

This little bistro is the cutest place. Very easy to miss as it is tucked away from the buzz of south beach. However, it may be easy to miss but I highly recommend that you don't miss it. Everything was absolutely delicious!!! The chicken Marsala was probably some of the best I've ever had.

We recently moved into the area and are about four blocks from Oliver's. With the COVID event, we have been walking by waiting for Oliver's to reopen. The Yelp review and photos were so helpful while we waited for the reopening. We stopped by this week for a late lunch and sat on the patio area. The service was friendly and helpful. They were taking all the precautions for reopening and we felt very comfortable I had the spicy shrimp tacos and it was awesome. My wife had the grilled chicken & brie on a grilled ciabatta with a side salad and she ended up taking half of it home. If you are someone that likes your tea freshly brewed, theirs is great and they even leave a pitcher for the table. To wrap up lunch, we couldn't pass up the apple strudel. It was highly recommended on by Yelpers and it was great. Make a point to spot by and give Oliver's a try the next time you are in the area. Enjoy!

Brunch anyone? I LOVE Oliver's Bistro for any meal but, I particularly love it for brunch. The food is good, well prepared, the options are great, I never get tired of it. The Avocado Toast I simply adore, this is more a fancy version of an Avocado Toast, soooooo good and the 3 Egg Create your own Omelette is super, just a great place and great food, you can never go wrong @oliversbistro the perfect way to start the new year !

I love this place for many reasons.... But the service dampers the experience. It seems like every time we go in there we are invisible. We have to practically beg to be greeted ordering and forget trying to get anyone to get the bill and another 20 minutes paying All and all we spent more time trying to be noticed then eating our food. Bottom line if you're gonna charge this much for food step up to the place as far as service goes because people get tired of it every other restaurant on Miami Beach never treats us this way if it wasn't convenient once a month we would not go there. It's a shame.

Beautiful spot and great service but ordered the chicken and waffles and it was quite possibly the worst chicken and waffles I've ever had. Under cooked chicken, dried out waffles, had some dipping sauce that came out of the freezer so it was rock hard, and unusable. Too bad, based on reviews I came here but wow this was bad.

Charming neighborhood spot for consistently good dining. But you need to park on the street. The parking garage is expensive.

Absolute favorite neighborhood restaurant! You can't order a bad dish from this place top recommendations would be the short rib entrée, beef lasagna, Caesar salad, and the hugo Prosecco cocktail! Finally tried the filet mignon, it was melt in your mouth perfect! Roasted potatoes were better than the mashed potatoes
